Efficient nightly builds for Document Engine

PSPDFKit Processor has been deprecated and replaced by Document Engine. To migrate to Document Engine and unlock advanced document processing capabilities, refer to our migration guide. Learn more about these enhancements on our blog.

In certain circumstances, our Support team might ask you to try a nightly build to see if a fix we built for you works. When running nightlies, keep the following in mind:

Nightlies should never be used in production. While they still undergo automated testing, they don’t have the same strict QA as our full releases.
There’s no support for migrations in any direction. Since nightlies are cut from our master branch, there’s no guarantee that they’ll be compatible with the next scheduled release, nor is there any guarantee that you can downgrade to the current version. Always run nightlies against a fresh DB, and only use test data.

Using Nightlies

The PSPDFKit Processor nightly Docker image is provided as a tarball for x86-64 (AMD64/Intel 64) and aarch64 (ARM64) architectures.

Download the nightly image and add it to your local image registry:

curl -L https://my.pspdfkit.com/download/pspdfkit-processor/nightly-x86_64.tar.gz -o pspdfkit-processor-nightly.tar

docker load < pspdfkit-processor-nightly.tar

The final output reads:

Loaded image: pspdfkit/processor:nightly-x86_64

Replace the pspdfkit/processor image tag in your docker-compose.yml file with pspdfkit/processor:nightly-x86_64, and start PSPDFKit Processor as usual:

version: '3.8'

pspdfkit:
  image: pspdfkit/processor:nightly-x86_64
  environment:
  ...

Download the nightly image and add it to your local image registry:

curl -L https://my.pspdfkit.com/download/pspdfkit-processor/nightly-aarch64.tar.gz -o pspdfkit-processor-nightly.tar

docker load < pspdfkit-processor-nightly.tar

The final output reads:

Loaded image: pspdfkit/processor:nightly-aarch64

Replace the pspdfkit/processor image tag in your docker-compose.yml file with pspdfkit/processor:nightly-aarch64, and start PSPDFKit Processor as usual:

version: '3.8'
